Virtual Corset
Miniature datalogger combined with an inclinometer and silent shaker used to monitor patient inclination, save inclination data, and provide biofeedback at set limits.
Description
The Virtual Corset™ has been described as ""a gentle reminder to stand up straight"". A more erect posture can reduce trunk muscle activity, and may reduce the loads borne by the spinal column.
By combining an inclinometer, data logger and silent vibrating alarm in a tiny pager enclosure, the Virtual Corset™ keeps track of trunk inclination, and warns the wearer when a prescribed inclination angle limit has been reached. The clinician or therapist sets the unit's inclination limits, sample frequencies, and data save intervals using the serial port of a personal computer (PC); once programmed, the Virtual Corset may be disconnected from the PC. In the field, it performs its pre-programmed datalogging and biofeedback tasks while worn anywhere: during work, play, exercise, and rest."

AIFP
Arthroscopically implantable force probe! Smaller than a #2 pencil tip, this submergible micro-force transducer is ideal for medical research applications.
Description
Smaller than a no. 2 pencil tip, this submergible micro-force transducer is ideal for medical research applications. The AIFP® is constructed from micro-machined stainless steel and heat treated to form an elliptical spring microstructure, which deforms elastically when loaded. This construction allows the device to accurately and reproduceably measure applied forces.
A quarter bridge strain gauge bonded to the structure provides a sensititve output, linearly proportional to force. The strain gauge's self temperature coefficient is matched to the stainless steel substrate to minimize the effect of temperature on probe output. The elliptical cross section and 3-conductor flat tape cable keep the device anchored and oriented within fibrous materials. In addition, bridge completion resistors are included in the AIFP's integral connector.
For implantation, a trocar and slotted cannula are used to bury the transducer within the tissue substance. A suture may be placed in an aperture located in the wall of the probe to facilitate probe removal. The AIFP® is coated with high temperature polyimide and parylene coatings for protection against moisture and saline solutions."
